All researchers of the Kaktakumbo lightning phenomenon agreed that a unique natural phenomenon keeps many secrets from mankind, which will not soon have to be solved. It is called the UFO Electric Goblin Sanctuary or “Bermuda in Orbit,” but what is really going on in this corner of the world?
When the famous pirate Francis Drake decided to capture the rich Venezuelan city, where the Spanish fortifications were located in 1595, he and his crew approached its walls at night. Suddenly powerful flashes lit up the heavens and the garrison, noticing the enemy, raised the alarm, after which people were forced to flee. The failure of the corsair, which became the beginning of the decline of the Caribbean filibusters, was reflected in the poem by Lope de Vega, who colorfully depicted the death of the hated robber, and the world's population first learned about the mysterious lightning, which became an interesting topic for scientists. When Humboldt decided to conduct a series of observations, he noticed that such natural processes, reminiscent of a storm, cause unusual explosions of electricity.
Then the Italian colleague Agustin Codazzi supplemented the conclusions of the German scientist with his descriptions, where it was emphasized that high in the skies without a thunderstorm a series of such natural phenomena occurs over the Zulia swamps. Gusts of unique flares often pass at night and are also associated with the seasons, where the May and October discharges are especially powerful. The intensity of the blows reaches 250 and can vary depending on the peak of activity. People watched 30 lightning bolts per minute, after which their number increased up to 300 times. Thunderstorm clouds generate millions of electrical discharges with a capacity of 400,000 amperes, and they are also 10 kilometers long. An interesting fact is that no one hears the sound of thunder, but they can be seen even at a 400-kilometer distance and behold in normal sunny weather. Therefore, the natural "Lighthouse Maracaibo" for centuries helped ships to keep the correct course in the swampy area of the river.
Scientists call the phenomenon a powerful ozone generator of our planet, because the winds of the Andes can often cause thunderstorms, and the area itself is saturated with methane, which rises to the clouds and fuels lightning discharges. During the course of the river, the river itself washes away organic matter, the decomposition of which also contributes to these secretions, and then the clouds are carried in the air and give rise to the frequent occurrence of storms. Other hypotheses of this phenomenon were also put forward, but in 2010 the first theory was unexpectedly confirmed. A prolonged drought led to the drying up of the swamps, after which the celestial beacon suddenly went out. Then experts, together with tourists, were alarmed by the disappearance of the usual sight, but the rainy season put everything in its place, so now lightning flashes like in the old days.
Small ships with guests are already on the lake to enjoy the sunset, when these phenomena can be seen in all their glory, and further in the sky, a crazy dance of flashes of yellow and orange colors begins. But lightning does not favor strangers who disturbed their kingdom in the winter, and can destroy intruders. The Indians considered them to be the spirits of their ancestors encountering the flight of fireflies, but researchers of anomalous phenomena tend to attribute them to a connection with UFOs and extraterrestrial civilizations. Recently, new materials from NASA have appeared on the networks, made using a satellite launched into Earth's orbit to analyze weather changes. He managed to record powerful discharges of lightning, which quite unusually beat from the cloud to its analogue, being parallel to the surface of the planet.

Then netizens were shocked by unexpected facts discovered by hackers, who managed to get into the agency's database and find there documents related to the statistics of Kaktakumbo, where there were diagrams and graphs of massive malfunctions of devices flying over the area at that time. Then for the first time they started talking about the secret discovery of the Bermuda satellite in outer space due to dark lightning. Theoretically, these invisible discharges arise at the border with the atmosphere, after which particle flows disable equipment, and the process itself occurs at high speed. They are recorded by instruments, like terrestrial gamma-ray flares, but the relationship between them and ghostly discharges of lightning, which also destroy the navigation system, remains a mystery.
Scientists, during further research, were driven into a dead end by the appearance in this corner of the world of rare electrical effects, which gave rise to the name of the reserve where fairy creatures live. The first inhabitants were strange ball lightning in the form of children's soap bubbles, descending against the background of the furious discharges of their fellows. It is also impossible to explain the phenomenon of a drip natural creature resembling a pearl necklace and arising in the center of a hurricane. Such a chain of spherical glowing spots can be seen between dark clouds, but then a special discharge appears, similar to a rocket. It leaves behind a luminous trail, but no one can find the nature of this phenomenon. Maybe aliens really intervened in such a process and created their own technological devices unknown to earthlings? People can only waitwhen lightning bolts want to reveal their true nature, but for now they continue to help the planet.
